A cover 98 of pliable insulating provided for the casing of the* ing arm 50 is swung in the direction of the arrow M, and thereby the segment 47 turns the segment 53. The segment 53 swings the Asegment 61 and thereby the driving pawl 63- engages the teeth of the ratchet wheel 57 to turn the same. The, rotations of the ratchet `wheel 57 are transmitted to the spur gear 56, through the intervention of the spring 60 to avoid jars. The rotations of the spur gear 56 are transmitted to the pinion 70 and thereby the spur gear 71 is turned. The spur gear 71. turns the pinion 74 and the pivot 35 turns with the latter. The spur gear 75 turns with the pivot 35, and the latter turns the pinion 83, and the armature 76 is turned. The electric generator through its appurtenances and the wires 94 and 95 with their appurtenances energize the elect-ric 1i ht bulb 83.

t is to Ybe understood that various modiications may be made lin the invention' and 'that the present exemplification is to be taken as illustrative and not limitative thereof.

Having described my invention what I desire to secureby Letters Patent and claim t fastened to the inner face of each of said side members, said journal bearings coaxial4 with the openings 1n sa1d slde members, re-

movable covers onl the outer face of said side members covering the openings therein', V

journal bearings in said side strips, a i

shaped frame constituting a permanent magnet forminglwith said side members a compartment for the appurtenances ofthe flashlight, an electric lamp connected to one end of the casing, an electric generator in the casing in electric circuit with said lamp, an operating pivot journaled in the casing and extending through one of said side members, an operating arm on the outside of the casing connected to the operating pivot, a plurality of elements interposed between said operating pivot and said electric generator and a ieXible element coacting with said plurality of elements.

2. AIn a flashlight the 'combination of `a casing comprising a pair of side members having openings formed therein, a strip having journal bearings formed therein fastened to the inner face of each of said side members, said journal bearings coaxial with the openings in said side members, removable covers on the outer face of said side members covering the openings therein, a lframe constituting a permanent magnet forming with the said side members a comelectric generator in the casing in electric lamp connected to one end ofthe casing, an electric generator in thel casing in eelctric circuit `with said lamp, means to operate the electric generator in said compartment and supported in the journal bearings of said strips, an operating arm on the outside of the casing and a connection between said arm and the said means to operate' the electric generator.

Signed at the borough of Manhattan, city of New York, inthe county of lNew York and State of New York, this 2nd day of February, A. D. 1922.
